    I feel we read this article every week

    No you haven’t, for 2-3 years it was predicted, difference now is that it’s actually happening.
    Most of us thought Russia would collapse sooner, but now it’s actually here. The Russian economy and infrastructure is collapsing, with widespread fuel-shortages despite heavy rationing, and fuel so expensive farmers can’t afford to harvest.
    The Russian federal economy is out of money, their wealth fund is used up, and they’ve sold gold reserves to get by beginning already months ago.

    “Russian war industry about to hit its limit”

    Where did you see that claim? Seems a lot like a straw man to me, because everybody have said all the time that the Russian war industry will be the last to be affected by the economic collapse. Because it has the highest priority.

      yes we have. lemmy was basically flooded with garbage tier articles for the past years not predicting it but claiming it as current fact.
